i u an whom it nia concern:

citizen of the -Unit/ed States, residing at Cadillac in the county of Wexford and State of Michigan, have inventedcertain new and useful Im "ovements in Combined Hose-Nozzles an Lawi1=Sprinklers, of

:This invention-relates to combined hose nozzles and lawn sprinklers, and has forone of its objects to improve the construction and increase the efiiciency and utility in devices of this character. 1

Another object of the invention is to provide a simply constructed device comprising a body having an intake at one end with a hose nozzle at the opposite end, and with a sprinkling nozzle intermediate the ends, and

with means whereby the flow of water may be caused to passentirely through either the nozzle or shut 0E entirely from both. i

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction which will be hereinafter shown and described and then specifically ointed out in the claims, and in the drawmg illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention: Figure 1 is a plan view of the im roveddevice- Fig. 2 is a side elevation 0 the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 41-4 of Fig. 2.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followin description and indicated in all the views 0 the drawing by the same reference characters.

The improved'device comprises a body or stock represented as a Whole at 10 and with a threaded intake 11- at one end and a discharge nozzle 12 at the opposite end. Formed through the stock 10 adjacent to the intake end 11 is a valve opening 13 to. re ceive a valve plu 14, the latter being preferably tapered an secured in. position by a clamp nut 15 in the usual manner at its smaller end and rovided with a turnhandle or head 16 at t e largerend. The valveplug it is provided with a transverse passage 17 through which the water is caused to flow, as hereafter explained.

The stock 10 is enlarged next to the valve aperture 13 to form a relatively large circular chamber 18 which is closed at the lower end at 19 and with an aperture 20 in its upper side. The bottom 19 is spaced away from thc'b'ot'tom of the stock to provide for afpass'age 21 'forthe li 'uid from the 'valve aperture to the nozzle,t e passage 21 being restricted somewhat as "shown at 22 where it commu-nicateswi'th the aperture; 13 of the valve. Rising centrally fromthejbottoin -19 of the-recess is a r'etarder-p'liig 23 which while-the inner edges of the aperture are 'likewise rounded to accelerate the outflow of water, as hereafter explained.

\ A passage 24 is provided to form communication between the interior of the terminates at its upper end relatively close I to the'apertureQO-and is preferably rounded chamber 18 and the valve aperture 13. That endof the passage 24 which is located next to the valve 0 ening 13 corresponds in width to the wi th of the said openingand the passage is contracted toward its other end as at 25 and communicates with the chamber 18. At and adjacent its last mentioned end the passage extends tangentially with respect to the Wall of the chamber 18 and is inclined upwardly so that water flowing through the passage is discharged into means an effectual lawn sprinkler is produccd of extremely simple construction.

When the device is to be employed as a nozzle the valve plug 14 is turned to open the slot through the valve plug into the passa e 2221 and at the same time shutting oil the flow through the passage 24i25'. By this simple means a complete spray nozzle and a complete ordinary hose nozzle is produced in one stdck and without materially increasing the expense or the cumbersomeness of the device.

Thebody 10 will be of any required size and of any suitable material. Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is:

1. A hose nozzle having an intake at one end and a. discharge at the other end, a

chamber within the ppperportion ofthe nozzle and havingan opening through the upper side Wall of the same communicating with the interior of the chamber, a retarder nozzle beneath the chamber.

'2. A hose nozzle having an intake at one end and a discharge at the other end and provided with a valve seat near the intake end, a chamber within the nozzle at, the upper side. having an opening through the upper wall of the nozzle communicating with the interior of the chamber, and hav- 1 nominee in? it passage between the chamber andthe valve seat -arranged.'tangentia1ly and inclined upwardly relative to, the chamber, a

retarder Within the chamber terminating adjacent to the outlet, and a valve plug open ating in the valve-seat for directing the flow through either the chamber or the body of the nozzle. V l

In testimony whereof I afiixmy signature in presence of two Witnesses.
